Let's be honest, when it comes to smaller choral shops, if you're the one running fundraising at your chorus, you're probably also running about ten other things.

Our first Online Workshop is next week, and it's made for you. Andrew Hansen is leading Individual Giving That Fits Your Capacity, a workshop for small(er) choral shops. We'll look at your own donor records together, and you'll leave with templates and a year-end plan that fits the time you actually have.

📅 Wednesdays, October 7 and 21
🕑 2-3:30 pm ET / 11 am-12:30 pm PT
🎟️ $75, with recordings for two weeks after the final session
🔒 Members only
